We opted for a local firm for our conveyancing in Malmesbury recently. After carefully reading the fine print I notewe are on the hook for costs even if our purchase aborts. Would I be best advised to instruct a web based firm advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Malmesbury?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to cover the conveyances that do not go ahead.

We're in Malmesbury, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is Nottingham , and our lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Malmesbury. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Malmesbury - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
